(no subject)
I have been moved to post by the fact that I haven't read livejournal in so long that I can't skip back in my friends page to entries that I've already read. What can I say, I was too busy half enjoying and half being disgusted with Cryptonomicon over break. And also I read Lee Smolin's The Trouble with Physics, which I really, really loved.
Let's see. I got my grades; B's in everything except for 8.03, which I got a D in (ick ick ick!). Yeah um not so good. Have sent email to advisor asking what horrible things are in store for me (though I don't think anything is). I may yet get an A this term in my HASS (I missed the final due to illness, S^3 excused it, but now I have to actually take the final third week of IAP so I get a grade rather than an OX). But it'd be nice to get an A in a science class at MIT. Y'know, like, in my major would be especially nice.
Next term, I'm looking at...8.04, 8.044, some HASS, and a black holes class whose number I forget. Also under consideration are 18.06, 18.354 (with Yi-Hsin!), 8.225 (the Einstein, Oppenheimer, Feynman one), 6.004 (which I think conflicts with things, but I haven't checked the schedule in a while), and generally a lot of other classes. I'm not sure how many classes to take during this next term, though. Five classes worked out pretty well last year, but not so well last term. And my extracurricular demands will probably go up, not down. On the other hand, eating last term also didn't work out so well (eating lunch a few times might have helped...), so I might be much better off if my schedule works out better this term in that regard.
Uhh, right. Firefox just crashed on me after opening another tab (for a grand total of 4 tabs open). Luckily, it restored my draft because Livejournal saved it (at 11:11:11 AM!). But I have other things to do, so I'm just going to finish this entry now so that I actually have space in which to do these other things. Stupid Firefox. *grumble*
